OT: Marine general's mock 'victory' - I suspect he was one Helluva lot smarter than Saddam or his minions and was operating with insider's perspective. Schwartzkopf often said of Saddam that given a list of options, he invariably chose the dumbest. That said, the downside risk in this probably revolves around the 'If I'm going down, I'm taking a bunch down with me' scenario where he blows the oil fields and uses the nasty weapons on US forces, the Saudi's and Israel. However this plays out, I suspect the cheery concensus of a 2-3 week cakewalk will be proven wrong.
